The Third Voice: “Since music has saved me, I want to save people with music. “

It may be suprising, but KOKIA says she has had more difficulties since her debut. She says it is difficult to balance between what she “should” do as a professinal musician and what she “wants” to do as an artist.

The Second Voice: “Doing something only I can do.”

She studied abroad in the U.S. for a short time when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school. She could not speak English well and was stuck in her shell, but music saved her. Since then, she has come to believe that music is the universal language of the world.
